how do i work out the water capacity of a 8ft(round) x 2ft (depth) round pool in litres?

Answer 1

I believe that its 2565 litres....I just bought one and needed to figure out the amount of water so that I could add chlorine. Here is a link to Canadian Tire that quotes 570 gallons.

Answer 2

If the diameter is 8ft and the depth is 2ft, first convert these to centimetres and find the area of the circle multiplied by the depth in cubic centimetres. 1 litre = 1000 cubic centimetres, so divide by 1000 to have the answer in litres.

8 feet = 243.84 centimeters
the radius is half that = 121.92 cm
2 feet = 60.96 cm

pi * (121.92^2) * 60.96 = 2 846 719.91

So the answer is 2846.71991 litres or approximately 2850 litres.

If you don't fill it to the brim, then allow, say 2500 litres.

Answer 3

pi * radius ^ 2 * depth

so

= 3.141 * 8 ^ 2 * 2
= 3.141 * 64 * 2

= 402 litres

Assuming 8ft is the radius and not the diameter, in which case half the value to 4ft.

Oops, sorry convert the feet to metres first.

Answer 4

Calculating Pool Capacity


Shape of Pool Formula for Gallons Surface Area Formula

Rectangle or Square = depth x length x width x 7.5 = gallons length x width / 9 = square yards of surface area

Circular = diameter x diameter x depth x 5.9 = gallons half the diameter squared (x itself) x 3.14 / 9 = sq yds of surface area

Oval with straight sides = width x length x depth x 6.7 = gallons 3.14 x length x width / 9 = square yards of surface area

Answer 5

if 8ft is dia then its simple_

3.14*4*4*2 = 100.48 cubic ft.
change to cubic mm
100.48*12*12*12*25*25*25 = 2712960000 cubic mm

equal to 2712960000 ml
equal to 2712960 l

Answer 6

First calculate the volume of the water. It will be

pi*r*r*h = (3.14 * 4 *4 * 2) feet^3 = 100.48 feet^3

Convert it into meter^3

1 feet = 0.305 m

100.48 feet^3 =(100.48 * 0.305 * 0.305 * 0.305) m^3 = 2.85 m^3

Now 1 liter = 0.001 m^3

2.85 m^3 = 2.85/0.001 liter = 2850 liter

So the answer is 2850 liter.

Thanks

Answer 7

get a 125 millilitre wine glass, fill it to the line with water, then pour in the pool. Repeat until full, keeping count of the thousands of glasses used. I am an idiot!

Answer 8

what the heck is 8ft round? radius or circumference or diameter?

Answer 9

1 ml = 1 cubic centemeter. convert ft to inches, then inches to cm there is 2.54 cm in one inch. one liter has 1000 ml...
or use V = (pie)* r^2* h.

Answer 10

V = (pie)* r^2* h
